Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

The business on the second day was indeed good. The gluttons who heard the news ate up all the Fuqi Feipian and ox head made by Chunni. The braised and braised ox feet were also sold out.

In the following days, Chunni Restaurant launched its specialties of boiled beef, crossed-legged beef, and lamp-shadow beef, which attracted families with some wealth in the city to visit.

This wave of beef feasts made the people of Tuocheng remember Chunni Restaurant thoroughly, because the haze caused by the restaurant opening opposite was completely dissipated in Chunni Restaurant.

Chunni Hotel's business is as prosperous as ever, but Chunni is still worried.

Chunni Restaurant became popular because of the beef feast. Hong also had troubles, because there were not enough seats in the hall at mealtime. Some people were willing to wait, while others chose the Zhenxing Restaurant across the street to save time.

Chunni was extremely distressed about this! The ones who were lost were not customers, but the big unity cards!

Chunni wanted to widen it a bit, but there were residential houses on both sides, so it would not be easy to ask people to move out.

Unexpectedly, someone sent a pillow when she felt sleepy. That afternoon, Aunt Wang from the left family came to see Chunni.

"Chun Ni, are you busy?" Aunt Wang walked into Chun Ni Restaurant.

Chunni knew that Aunt Wang would never come to her restaurant unless there was something important. She had many children and the whole family lived in a two-bedroom apartment next door. They were usually very frugal and had never come to Chunni's restaurant for dinner.

Chunni was also very curious about Aunt Wang's purpose in coming.

Chunni stood up and greeted: "What brings Aunt Wang here? Come in and sit down. I'll pour you a glass of water."

It was a time when the restaurant was idle. Li Shuhua and her sister were cleaning up in the kitchen, while Yang Qianjin went out for a walk.

Chunni was sitting at the dining table resting and feeling bored. Then someone came to cheer her up, and Chunni was very happy.

Aunt Wang was not as forthright as usual, and she even talked in a roundabout way: "It's my eldest son. He's not young anymore, but he still hasn't found a partner. So his aunt looked around at her parents' home and finally found a suitable girl. I've seen the girl, she's good-looking and has a good personality, but she thinks our house is too small and is afraid that she won't have enough room to live with her."

Chunni understood a little bit, and she said: "Oh, that's such a pity. Uncle Wang, didn't you think of a solution?"

Aunt Wang continued, "I thought about it. Why didn't I think about it? He found a small courtyard through a friend. That courtyard is much more spacious than this one. It has three main rooms and two side rooms on each side. It's a good house. If the owner didn't want to go to the provincial capital to develop, he wouldn't be willing to sell it. In one word, expensive!"

Chunni knew the point was coming, so she deliberately asked, "So you want to borrow money from me?"

"No, no, no." Aunt Wang waved her hands quickly. She was a little shy and probably felt a little embarrassed. She said, "Chun Ni, you also know that your uncle Wang was the only one who made money in my family. Now, we have finally waited for your brother Wang to grow up and make money. Now we have to get married and have children, and spend money. This money is not enough."

Chunni waited for her to continue.

Aunt Wang grabbed her apron and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Your restaurant business is getting more and more prosperous. I don't know if you want to expand the restaurant. Well, if you want, I will sell it to you." Aunt Wang also knew that it was not a good deal to come to her door. She really had no choice. She needed money. She saw that Chunni's restaurant was doing well. What if their family was willing to expand the store?

Chunni really is willing to do so.

Two years ago, the great leader Comrade Deng defined houses as commodities that can be bought and sold. So Chunni has no psychological burden about buying a house. Her dream is of course to be a landlady who can lie down instead of standing, so Chunni is quite passionate about buying houses!

Chunni and Aunt Wang talked about the price, and Chunni did not try to bargain too hard, and bought the house next door at the market price.

Aunt Wang must have asked about the price a long time ago and agreed readily.

Aunt Wang moved very quickly, and Chunni went to take a look at the house.

The house is divided into two parts, the front is the living room, the back is the bedroom, a kitchen is built behind the bedroom, and the toilet is not far away. Because Aunt Wang has many children, they also built a bed in the living room, and the bedroom is divided into two rooms. Chunni plans to paint the house white, make the front a living room, and make the back a private room. The previous store remains unchanged, but the front hall is mainly used for fast food. There is a door between the back kitchen and the kitchen, so it is much more convenient to serve food.

As soon as the shop's problem was solved, Chunni would train Li Shufen. She actually liked Li Shufen very much. She loved to laugh, was hardworking, always had endless gossip to talk about, loved to eat, and had a little talent for cooking.

The dishes Chunni sells are not so highbrow, they don’t need to be elaborately made, she only cares about the taste, which is more homely. Of course, it would be better if they are colorful, fragrant and delicious.

Li Shufen has an amazing tongue, she can taste even the most subtle flavors, which is her advantage in cooking.

Since there were people willing to teach and learn, Li Shufen quickly got the hang of it.

From time to time, I take turns cooking with Chunni, which really makes Chunni happy.

His career was going smoothly, but his love life was uneventful.

He Yanqing often came to the restaurant to eat, and seemed to be very familiar with Chunni, but also seemed very strange. He often came to take care of business, but never asked Chunni out to watch a movie or go to the park.

Chunni admitted that she still liked He Yanqing a little, but it seemed like there was a mountain of distance between them.

Of course, Chunni would never admit that she was a little angry that He Yanqing hadn't contacted her for several years while studying at university. Well, that's it, Chunni thought!

It is still more tempting to go south.
